sorry about the formatting, I'm using mozilla-mail and Im not used to it
I have latest fetchmail and just got latest procmail and I have it set
to use procmail to deleiver the messages. I only used fetchmail because
I got this ".....not a mailbox" message. I use mutt to check my pop mail
always. I have gotten a message errno 2 there is no such mailbox
/var/spool.... before and ran fetchmail and then mutt and it worked fine
from there. Now this happens out of the blue I run fetchmail and it
still happened so i cant blame fetchmail as I dont usually use it. It's
mind boggling to me why such a thing would happen out of the blue and
now I have to use some crap mail app!!!!!
